The duo is honoring Henrietta Lacks, the Black woman whose countless contributions have been left out of our history. Pick up this issue on March 24th to hear more about the new must-see film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks from the stars themselves!

Kandi Burruss is a hard worker and has created some amazing products throughout the years. She has been able to use The Real Housewives of Atlanta to leverage more success, and she thought the show could help her be successful in most business ventures. But over the past couple of years, Kandi has tried to launch a play called A Mother’s Love but had to shut it down due to poor promotions and sales. In addition, Burruss has struggled to open the doors to her new restaurant, Old Lady Gang. Now, Burruss is facing a lawsuit from a former employee named Johnnie Winston.

According to a new Bravo report, Kandi Burruss is now watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta and is learning that her former employee is scheming to get more money from Kandi and her company. During Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kandi learned that Johnnie went to Phaedra to get her legal help so he could sue her company. Parks decided to stay out of the legal mess, but she did refer him to another attorney. While many saw this as the ultimate betrayal, Parks claims that she took an oath to help those in need when she became an attorney.

Winston claims that Kandi Burruss stole his ideas, including the idea to start a restaurant and her play, A Mother’s Love. Kandi claims she has written the play based on her own life, but he claims that she downright stole the idea. So, who is speaking the truth?

“A Mother’s Love is about my family. You guys showed it on the show. It was about my mom, my sister, a musical about them. The songs are related to the show. You guys saw it on TV,” Kandi Burruss told Andy Cohen when she visited Watch What Happens Live, according to Bravo. “So did he make up my life, too?”

Apparently, Burruss knew about everything that was going on, and she’s about to learn more. Kandi claims that fans will learn more on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and on the reunion special, which has already been filmed. Kandi Burruss opened up about this on Watch What Happens Live but advises fans to keep watching as they will learn more on the show.

“So much has been going on that I found out later, and it’s so crazy. I don’t want to give up anything, but you guys will see. I ask her about it, and she denied really having anything to do with Johnnie’s lawsuit,” Kandi told Andy, hinting that they

haven’t solved their friendship issues. “And I’m watching this show, and I see her at the law office with him with her friend. I was like, that girl is so shady. Like, so shady.”

It’s interesting that Kandi has confronted Phaedra Parks about the lawsuit and her denying that she had anything to do with it. While Parks didn’t file the lawsuit on behalf of Winston, she did advise him on what to do and she did link him up with another attorney to help his case. And this was the ultimate betrayal. If he wins the case against Kandi, she could face a huge financial loss. But Phaedra doesn’t seem to care. She opened up about her reasoning on her blog for the show, and Parks also claimed on the show that she had a legal obligation to help out.

“After practicing law for eighteen years, no stories shock or amaze me,” Phaedra Parks revealed on her own blog for The Real Housewives of Atlanta, according to Bravo. “When anyone seeks my advice in my professional capacity as an attorney, I always try to provide assistance.”

What do you think of Kandi Burruss confronting Phaedra about the lawsuit? Do you think these two will ever be friends again?

#EMPIRE: Rumer Willis keeps the sass going on ‘Empire’

The only thing almost as fierce as “Empire” stars — “Empire” guest stars … and one has seemed to come out of nowhere. Rumer Willis blew us away in her debut last week, and she told Deco: tonight’s episode is taking her to a “dark” place.

The spring premiere of “Empire” kicked off last week with Jamal in rehab, where he became fast friends with a singer/songwriter played by Rumer Willis.

Rumer Willis: “I like that she’s a little bit dark, and you can tell that maybe she’s a little bit tortured or struggling.”

Rumer Willis (as Tory Ash): “Listen, what needs to happen right now is we need to finish this song, so y’all just need to (gestures for them to get out.)”

Taraji P. Henson (as Cookie Lyon): “What you need to do is shut up.”

Rumer is no stranger to showbiz, being the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, but she’s made a name for herself on her own, acting since age seven, and recently winning “Dancing with the Stars.”

And it was her singing during a radio interview that caught “Empire” star Jussie Smollett’s attention.

Jussie Smollett: “I went on Instagram, and I saw Sway, who is a friend of the show and a friend of mine. I saw his Instagram and he had her singing an Amy Winehouse song.”

Rumer Willis: “Jussie told me that he had seen the interview, and once he saw it, immediately saved it and sent it to the producers and to Lee and said, ‘This is the girl we gotta have for Tory Ash.'”

And she’s been the perfect fit!

Jussie Smollett: “She was just so wonderful, so effortless. She wasn’t a caricature of anything.”

Rumer Willis: “I think that the music is so great. Everyone that they have working on the music and the songs that I’ve done so far for the show, and there’s a few more coming up in the next few episodes, are just awesome. I’ve been so inspired by them.”

And you can catch Rumer, Jussie, and the rest of the “Empire” stars on FOX!

#NEWHIPHOP Video: Gucci Mane & Nicki Minaj – ‘Make Love’

Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj make love, not war. The former rivals put the past behind them and reunite in the video for “Make Love.”

The sun-filled visual finds Guwop surrounded by gorgeous models and expensive rides. While he raps in front of his fleet of vehicles and by the pool, Nicki simply straddles and rides an inflatable unicorn during her verse. Both rappers close the video with middle fingers in the air.

“Make Love” marks their first collaboration following a contentious feud. In 2013, Gucci dissed several MCs on Twitter, including Nicki. Prior to that, they two worked together on tracks like “5 Star Remix,” “Coca Coca,” “Sex in Crazy Places,” “Slumber Party,” “Haterade,” “Pussy Ni**a,” and “Mi Casa Su Casa,” among others. They appeared to reconcile in February.

Despite making so many joints together in the past, Nicki said it was their first time filming a video. “Wait is this the first video @gucci1017 & I ever shot for a song?” she asked. “#SlumberParty #PussyNigga what else we put out while I lived in ATL?”

Released last month, “Make Love” quickly raised eyebrows due to perceived shots at Remy Ma. “You see silly wabbit / To be the queen of rap,” Nicki raps. “You gotta sell records, you gotta get plaques / ‘S’ plural like the ‘S’ on my chest / Now sit your dumbass down, you got an ‘F’ on your test.”

WATCH HERE

As for Guwop, the video arrives ahead of his first book, The Autobiography of Gucci Mane, which is due Sept. 19. It also precedes his next album, DropTopWop, and his “TrapGod Tour,” which kicks off May 6 in Austin, Tex.

Rihanna to Be Honored by Parsons School of Design

Rihanna is racking up the honors. After being named Harvard’s Humanitarian of the Year, the pop superstar will receive an award from the Parsons School of Design.

In the past, the art and design college has honored DKNY’s Donna Karan and Sarah Jessica Parker with the award, which recognizes individuals who empower young women. RiRi will receive her recognition alongside Eileen Fisher and Neiman Marcus at the 69th annual gala on May 22 at Pier 60.

“It’s such a thrill to know that a design school as prestigious as Parsons School of Design would present me with this honor,” Rihanna said in a statement. “I consistently find creative and exciting designs coming from Parsons alumni, so I feel a deep connection to the school. But I am especially grateful that Parsons would recognize me for the work I’ve done in regards to philanthropy.”

Parsons will honor Rihanna for her work in music, fashion, and philanthropy. “Parsons is proud to present Rihanna with this honor, as she has inspired millions through her powerful music and distinct style,” said Joel Towers, the school’s executive dean. “She has championed our recent alumni on a number of occasions by wearing their designs. She is also creating important philanthropic programs, which support communities by fostering effective education, health, and emergency response programs around the world through her Clara Lionel Foundation.”

Last month, while accepting her Humanitarian of the Year award at Harvard, Rihanna explained what it means to be so giving. “We’re all human,” she said. “We all just want a chance, a chance at life, a chance at an education, a chance at a future, really. At CLF [Clara Lionel Foundation], our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one. Just one. As I stare out into this beautiful room, I see optimism, I see hope, I see the future. I know that each and every one of you has the opportunity to help someone else. All you need to do is help one person, expecting nothing in return. To me, that is a humanitarian.”

RiRi’s humanitarian work continues. In September, she and her Clara Lionel Foundation are set to host the third annual Diamond Ball in New York City to raise money for health and education around the world.

The CW has released the first image of its newest superhero, Black Lightning, played by Heart of Dixie's Cress Williams, and it's hard not to get excited by both the picture and the premise of the pilot.

Jefferson Pierce (Williams) is the dad of two daughters who used to save the world as the superhero black lightning. He has since hung up the suit, but now that one daughter is hell-bent on justice and the other is a star student being recruited by a local gang, he puts the suit back on and gets pulled into the fight.

In the comics, Pierce is an athlete and former high school principal, and as Black Lightning, he has the power of electrokinesis, meaning he can generate and control his own electricity.

"I knew way too much about the world as a young boy growing up in Richmond, California," executive producer, writer, and director Salim Akil said in a statement. "I was no stranger to violence, death, hopelessness, or the feeling that no one cared about what was happening in my life. Comics were a great way for me to escape. I was about 13 when Black Lightning was created, and finally there was a black super hero that gave a damn about our neighborhood and our lives."

"Resurrecting him at a time in our society when a sense of hope is lacking, Black Lightning will be that hope," the statement continued. "And in updating the suit, it will signal to a new generation that it's time to harness and release our power, and become our own super heroes."

The pilot, which is currently filming in Atlanta, is also executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Mara Brock Akil, and Sarah Schechter. The suit was designed by award-winning costume desginer Laura Jean Shannon.

Trailer Stephen King’s “IT” In Theaters September 8th, 2017

When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

Seventeen years after the It miniseries taught the world an important lesson about storm drains — that lesson being, avoid storm drains — the Losers Club and a certain terrifying clown are back. Directed by Andrés Muschietti (who took over when Cary Fukunaga departed the project over an “inoffensive, conventional script”) and based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, It stars Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise, who still carries around his signature balloon, but that’s where the comparisons to Tim Curry’s clown end.

WATCH HERE IF YOU DARE!

“It’s such an extreme character,” Skarsgård said. “It’s beyond even a sociopath, because he’s not even human. He’s not even a clown. I’m playing just one of the beings It creates… It’s important that we do something fresh and original for this one. It’s purposely not going toward that weird, greasy look.” Based on the just-released trailer: can’t sleep, clown’ll eat me

Ben Affleck Surprises CinemaCon With First Official Appearance Since Rehab Admission

Ben Affleck is back on the red carpet.

Two weeks after the A-lister revealed he recently sought professional treatment for alcohol addiction, Affleck made a surprise appearance at CinemaCon on Wednesday evening in Las Vegas. The event marks the actor's first official event since going public with his health struggles, and he appeared in good spirits while joining the cast of Justice League.

The father of three posed for photos at the Warner Bros. presentation with co-stars Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher and Henry Cavill. Ben looked sharp in a navy blue suit with a green accent tie.

As for the actor's personal life, it seems as if he's getting back into the swing of things at home. Ben recently treated his 5-year-old son Sam to a magical day at Disneyland, where as a source revealed to E! News, the pair "had a special VIP Disneyland chaperone who helped them get to the front of the line."

A separate insider shared that Ben's sobriety remains a main priority in his life, explaining, "He's moving in a healthy, balanced direction."

The source described Affleck's emotional Facebook post in which he addressed completing a stay in rehab as a "step, but it's a progressive process. He's in a good place."

By now, most Real Housewives of Atlanta fans know all about the drama surrounding Chateau Sheree. For years now, Sheree has struggled to complete the construction of her dream home. She’s faced every possible complication anyone could imagine. From financial woes and running out of money, to back taxes and legal woes, Sheree has seen it all. But, despite all of the obstacles she’s faced, she still managed to build the house from the ground up.

However, there are still a few problems. Apparently, there are still contractors who haven’t been paid for their work and they definitely aren’t happy. Now, there’s reportedly a major demand of Sheree to ensure she comes up with the cash.

The Latest Drama: According to The Shade Room, Master Craft Stucco of Buford, GA is one of the companies Sheree allegedly owes for work done on her Sandy Springs, GA home. Although the stucco company won a judgment against the reality star’s company Sheree Corp. and Blu Management. However, the company is still facing problems with recouping funds because they haven’t been able to garnish her income or bank accounts.

Here is an excerpt from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

On May 9, 2016, a Fulton County superior judge Tom Campbell rewarded the company a lien on Whitfield’s home to the tune of $26,586.41, plus $1,981.50 in interest and court costs. Emory Potter, the attorney for Master Craft Stucco, said in an exclusive interview last week that he tried to garnish Whitfield’s wages but since the home is not under her name, “we haven’t been able to find bank accounts to garnish.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Now, it has been reported that the company is hoping drastic measures are enforced for her to repay the funds. The publication reports the companies are demanding Sheree sell the home to cover the debts she owes.

Solange has no qualms about embracing the label “feminist.” In the latest issue of Bust magazine, the singer-songwriter discusses how she identifies as a “proud black feminist and womanist.” In doing so, Solange makes it clear that she embraces the social theory of womanism that advocates for centralizing the experiences of black women and other marginalized groups. But she doesn’t rely on the terminology to make her point. Instead, she tells the magazine she wants to help ensure that intersectional feminism is practiced.

While she’s proud of the work that’s been done to advance women’s rights, there’s still more to do, she told Bust:

“I’m a feminist who not only wants to hear the term intersectionality, but actually feel it, and see the evolution of what intersectional feminism can actually achieve. I want women’s rights to be equally honored, and uplifted, and heard…but I want to see us fighting the fight for all women — women of color, our LGBTQ sisters, our Muslim sisters. I want to see millions of us marching out there for our rights, and I want to see us out there marching for the rights of women like Dajerria Becton, who was body slammed by a cop while she was in a swimsuit for simply existing as a young, vocal, black girl. I think we are inching closer and closer there, and for that, I am very proud.”

Solange added that she’s thankful for other black feminists and scholars who’ve allowed her to be “a student” in informal ways. Much of her education, she told the magazine, came from learning from other women she encountered in her mother’s hair salon or, whom she simply learned of via the internet. “I’m really grateful that I’m also a student of black feminists and womanists … and of women who have created this terminology for us to use as we carve out this space” she told Bust. “That is one of the beautiful things about the internet. I’m a high-school educated woman. And I rely on incredible women like [the groups Crunk Feminist Collective and Black Women’s Blueprint] … to really guide me through the process of carving out my feelings, and how I articulate them.”

The latest issue of Bust magazine is on newsstands now.

#RHoA: For 20th TIME Kenya Finally Breaks Up With Matt On 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta'

What is it about some Real Housewives of Atlanta and terrible relationships this season? There's Cynthia and Phaedra, who are both going through divorces, Shereé realizing she should happily stay divorced, and Porsha making an ill-advised plan to get pregnant before even moving in with her new boyfriend. At least Kenya Moore broke up with Matt Jordan, finally. However, it was at the expense of the more interesting material going on right now, because Kenya, naturally, is relishing the chance to be offended at Phaedra's attack over the divorce party. At Cynthia's fashion show, which Frick & Frack did not attend, she rats out that Phaedra did not apologize for once again claiming that she broke up her marriage with Apollo.

But for some reason, Kenya then decides to go back to her relationship with Matt for drama? At first, the two tried to peacefully reconnect, but quickly, after Kenya refused to disclose enough of her flaws (so it seems), Matt storms off and paces around. The two argue for a while, but I'm going to be honest: this all continues to feel so fake. Sure, this is all about Kenya refusing to say sorry? But also, Kenya could have had Matt arrested for breaking her garage? Finally, with many fake tears, this relationship is over. And Matt certainly deserves to be placed on the cast of Empire (or at least Star) for his performance, but I'm just glad this is finally done. Bye Matt!

On Instagram, Kenya posted about the end of her tumultuous relationship. A simple black background highlighted the starkness of her quote: "I'm done." She did, however, elaborate in the caption, writing: "Watching myself tonight from 6 months ago... realizing my failures are my successes, my regrets are my lessons and my life is immensely blessed. I thank God everyday for my life. I wish you all love and happiness. We all deserve to be loved. Don't ever settle."

But the newly single Kenya may need to watch out. Unbeknownst to the Duchess of Twirl, Cynthia put on her best Wendy Williams wig and gets Phaedra on her couch to nail down: is her divorce finalized? After some hemming and hawing about it, Phaedra is finally willing to admit that yes, her divorce is final. After that tense moment, the two bond briefly over how weird it was that Kenya threw them a very presumptuous divorce-themed party. And when Cynthia, perhaps motivated by the technicolor dreamcoat she has on, suggests hosting a baptism, excited at the idea of calling Kenya a demon again, agrees. This sounds like a stunt waiting to happen, and it might send RHOA Season 9 out on a very un-blessed note.

Make no mistake about it, Taraji P Henson is a bonafide queen. If her general stately presence on the red carpet and award-winning tour de force performances on the big screen aren’t proof enough, then we’re positive her always superbly dressed character on Empire, Cookie, would be more than happy to set the record straight for you. And now, the actress finally has a crown befitting her royal status, swapping out her usual blunt bob for a head full of locs.

As we’ve pointed out before, Taraji and Rihanna are basically on their way to morphing into the same person. So of course, the Hidden Figures star needed to try out the signature hairdo Riri has been sporting for the past few months as part of her role in the new film Ocean’s 8.

Unlike the pop star, however, Henson chose to keep her locs slightly shorter, only coming down to her ribcage instead of her waist, with blonde pieces mixed throughout as well as a smattering of metal beads.

Taraji shared another look at her new do, enlisting her friend Jay Walker to take a photo of her posing in front of the ocean, with her new do piled high into a twisted up-do, all the better to show off those bold, shaved sides. As for that cover-up dress she’s wearing?

The piece designed by MuurSwagg is called the “Empress Dashiki,” naturally.

#NewMusic from Syd – Treading Water

Following the release of her stellar debut solo album, Fin, the front woman of The Internet has pulled a new song out of her vault that didn’t make the project.

The vibey song, titled “Treading Water,” is produced by Steve Lacy and Ronald “Flip” Colson, and it finds Syd singing about a rocky romantic relationship while co-signing women and men that take things slow.

“Feels like I’m treading water, waiting for your call / And it’s getting harder trying not to drown / Come on baby, come on baby, come back to me,” she sings.

The singer/songwriter/producer told fans that it was her “favorite song on Fin” before it had to be cut. She didn’t give an actual reason why it was cut from the album, but most likely it’s because the same instrumental was used by Big Sean and Jhené Aiko on the song “Selfish,” off their collaborative album TWENTY88.

James DeBarge Claims Janet Jackson Was ‘Pressured’ to Hide Love Child

*Janet Jackson’s ex James DeBarge claims that her closest advisors pushed her to abandon their child and save her fame.

DeBarge claims that young Janet not only hid a secret baby from the world for decades; but that she knowingly did it to help her career.

“I’m not sure, but I think it was the pressure, the fame,” that caused Jackson to give up the alleged child, DeBarge told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

As Radar reported, James said he believes Jackson gave birth to his child after their split in the 1980s, and that their daughter could be a 31-year-old Philadelphia woman named Tiffany Whyte.

“When you’re young, it’s easy to be persuaded and to do things you may not even want to do…” he said, when asked why – if Jackson did in fact give birth – she would have kept it a secret.

Whyte alleges that she received a text about a year ago from a woman claiming to be Janet Jackson. “She said she was Janet Jackson,” Whyte told Radar, claiming that people close to Jackson “made her” give up the alleged child.

“She was just very apologetic,” Whyte said.

DeBarge has claimed for several years that he fathered a secret baby with Jackson, who now lives privately with her husband, Wissam al Mana, and their newborn son, Eissa. Janet has never commented on her “secret baby” scandal.

Meanwhile, DeBarge and Whyte took a DNA test last month to set the record straight once and for all. #staytuned — as the results are going to be published on RadarOnline.com any day now.
